The membership subscription year runs from 1st April to 31st March and the fee remains the same for 2018.

If you have not paid the correct fee by 1st June 2018 you will not be able to book a place on any BGPERT meetings until we have received your payment. Late payment creates a lot of work and deprives the charity of much needed resources.

This year due to changes in data protection, ALL members will need to return a membership form to confirm that BGPERT can store your contact details, please see our Treasurer's letter further information.Please see the Data Protection (GDPR) tab above for our full policy.
